NVFP4 / INT4 tradeoffs - cozykite - 10-14-2026

Posting this in case it saves someone else a little time.

I'm helping a small team set up a local workflow. We don't need a giant stack, but we do care about VRAM headroom.

Simple and boring is a valid answer.

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs.

The part that surprised me was how much the boring details mattered more than the model choice.
